For a list of 3D transformation shortcuts,
see the online help
The 3D Transform dialog box previews
only the active layer. As you manipulate
an object in three dimensions, you can align
it with the contents of the underlying layers.
Duplicate the layer to align to, and place it
directly under the layer to be transformed in
the layer stacking order. Merge the layer to be
transformed with the duplicated layer. With
the Display Background option enabled in
the 3D Transform dialog box, manipulate the
object on the layer. When the layer is aligned,
disable the Display Background option and
click OK.
Using the rubber stamp tool and
pattern stamp tool
The rubber stamp tool takes a sample of the image,
which you can then apply over another image or
part of the same image. Each stroke of the tool
paints on more of the sampled image. Cross hairs
mark the original sampling point. The pattern
stamp tool lets you select part of an image and
paint with the selection as a pattern.
For information on restoring painted areas to their
previous states, see "Painting with a state or
snapshot of the image" on page 172.
To use the rubber stamp tool and pattern stamp tool:
Double-click the rubber stamp tool ( ) or
1
pattern stamp tool ( ) to display its Options
palette.

Specify the blending mode and opacity as
•
explained in "Using the Options palette for
painting and editing tools" on page 203.
Choose a brush size as explained in "Using the
•
Brushes palette" on page 200.

•
tablet, select Size to change the brush size with
changes in stylus pressure, Opacity to change the
opacity.

Use All Layers to sample data from all visible
layers. If left deselected, the tool samples only from
the active layer.
4 Do one of the following:
With the rubber stamp tool, select Aligned to
•
apply the entire sampled area once, regardless of
how many times you stop and resume painting.
This option is useful when you want to use
different sized brushes to paint an image. You can
also use the Aligned option to duplicate two halves
of a single image and place them at different
locations.
With the rubber stamp tool, deselect Aligned to
•
apply the sampled area from the initial sampling
point each time you stop and resume painting.
Because the rubber stamp tool samples the entire
image, this option is useful for applying multiple
copies of the same part of an image to different
images.
With the pattern stamp tool, select Aligned to
•
repeat the pattern as contiguous, uniform tiles,
even when you stop and resume painting in
different parts of the image.
